Chapter 90 The Country’s First Priority Is War, Not War

Pei Yaoqing is today's protagonist. He arranges for people to send some things to other students who are not good enough, which is considered as fulfilling his duty as a parent.

As for the better ones, he invited them and said they would have delicious food.

When there are too many people, it becomes chaotic and you can’t tell who is who.

There were two people in the crowd. They had scarves on their faces to protect them from the wind and snow, and hats on their heads to prevent snow from falling on their hair.

"Daoji, Li Yi started to ask for a name." Yao Chong lowered his head and spoke to Zhang. The name Zhang said was Daoji, which is the same as Jigong Li Xiuyuan's dharma name.

"He's already famous." Zhang said he didn't want to drink the rice wine in front of him because it didn't taste good.

He hated the poem about how one could drink a glass of nothing.

It's obviously just broken wine, but with the addition of a poem, it actually changes.

"The fame this time is different. He donated money, four hundred coins, and said he would take it out today." Yao Chong reminded.

"What's four hundred bamboo poles? Compared with the good tools he gave us, forty thousand bamboo poles is more than that. That's a complete set of farming equipment. How many people are going to use it?"

Zhang said as he put a piece of mutton into the copper hot pot in front of him.

He and Yao Chong had a hot pot in front of them. When other people came over, they were forced to retreat with their eyes.

The two of us have never seen a copper hot pot, but we have eaten hot pot cooked in a basin many times.

In the pot placed on the charcoal stove in winter, it is natural to put something to eat in it, that is, hot pot.

This copper hot pot has a chimney and charcoal is added from the middle.

What everyone doesn’t know is that this is the most widely used copper hot pot in the Northeast in the future. It was first used by the Manchu people, and later it was also available in the capital, and then spread to other places.

The difference between this kind of pot is that when rinsing sauerkraut, the sauerkraut is green. In other pots that are not copper, the sauerkraut is yellow.

"Wait until he gets up, above the court..." Yao Chong was so petty that he always felt that Li Yi would steal his position.

Zhang said that he was actually just as petty, and Li Yi told Li Longji.

He sandwiched pieces of meat and simmered them in chicken soup with oyster pot bottom: "Is it possible that he doesn't have a place now? His Majesty gets happy whenever he talks about new things for the benefit of farmers in the court, and he always goes to the Forbidden Garden to see the three thousand feathers Lin Feiqi."

"The Yulin Flying Cavalry is really awesome." Yao Chong commented gloomily.

He had seen Yulin Feiqi training in the Forbidden Garden. He was really desperate.

The most frightening thing is that among the three thousand people, not one of them complained of suffering or tiredness, and all of them were determined.

There was no such army in the entire Tang Dynasty. What had they experienced?

A saying they always say is ‘the most comfortable day is always yesterday’.

So what's going on today?

Yao Chong felt that even the entire Thousand Niu Guards could not defeat those three thousand Yulin Feiqi, each of whom only wore boxers during training and had scars all over their bodies.

Li Yi, what exactly did you do to them?

"The Baigong strategy seems to be of no use to him." Zhang said that he thought of the fine steel manufacturing, his head was spinning, and he wanted to hit the wall.

"Then keep going, what if there is a good one? Why is this mutton rolled?"

Yao Chong ate two pieces of meat before he realized the problem. The mutton was rolled up one by one. How was it made?

Zhang said he had discovered it a long time ago and sighed: "So Li Yi's methods are beyond your imagination."

Li Yi's courtyard.

"Brother Yi, why does the mutton come in rolls?" Li Longji and Queen Wang came again. It was cold and snowy, and they were in a bad mood, so they came to adjust their mood.

"For freezing, put the lean meat and fat meat together and freeze them, then cut them into rolls. The combination of fat and lean meat makes it delicious."

Li Yi casually told how to do it.

Generally speaking, rich people like to eat thin food, poor people like to eat fat food, and people who like to eat like to eat fat and thin food.

If you eat too much, you will find that it is too thin and tastes bad.

"Uncle, what we eat is to put some lean meat first, and then some fat meat. Once frozen, it will be cut with such a beautiful texture?"

Queen Wang was curious about the meat rolls.

Li Yi shook his head: "No, sister-in-law, what they eat is, what we eat is the mutton itself, it is also frozen, but it has its own texture."

"Then the glycerin in this small bottle is leftover from soap making. Do you want to sell a small bottle for a thousand yuan?"

Queen Wang picked up a small glass bottle, which contained glycerin, a by-product of soap production.

She has started using it a long time ago and it is very comfortable, especially now that the weather is cold. Applying it on her lips does not make her mouth dry and cracked. It is better than applying other oils and there is no unpleasant smell.

"Uncle, how much would it cost to sell the glycerin you gave me?" Queen Wang applied a dab of glycerin and felt that it was different from what she used.

"I won't sell it. The third brother and sister-in-law use beeswax, borneol, tea oil, and glycerin to make a skin care ointment. The glycerin is enough for them."

When Li Yi told the formula, there was nothing to keep secret. There was no glycerin to blend it with. Unless someone else could directly produce Vaseline, then there would be no need for anything else.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get Vaseline, so I used beeswax instead.

Li Longji swallowed a mouthful of meat and suddenly asked: "Brother Yi seems to dislike rich people?"

"Third brother is only partly right. I can't stand the rich who are unkind for their own sake, and I can't stand the rich who collude with officials and businessmen."

Li Yi expressed his opinion and added: "Every time there is a struggle between dynasties, the distribution of wealth reaches the critical point.

When more and more people accumulate wealth through bottomless means, the avalanche is coming.

And when it comes to an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

When a person has endless amounts of rotten grain but watches many people starve to death without taking out the grain, that is when he is about to die.

The constraints of morality and law seemed pale and useless at that moment. "

"Uncle said it well." Queen Wang felt that she was right.

Because when Li Longji was not in his current position, he was also very poor.

On her birthday, she couldn't even have a bowl of noodles. Her father sold a fur coat and made Li Longji a bowl of soup cake with meat.

"Those who are unkind for the sake of wealth should be punished." Li Longji thought for a while and seemed to understand the issue of distribution of social benefits.

"Third Brother, UU Reading www.uｕｕｈｕ.net There is no end to the killing. Just like the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, killing to stop killing is not the best policy. Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the right way."

Li Yi said that he wanted to pass on some theories of national struggle through his third brother.

"If you don't kill? If you don't kill, how can the world be safe?" Li Longji showed his domineering attitude.

"Just turn the enemy into one of your own. The reason why Tubo is so strong now is because of the way of heaven. It has become warm there. Since the time of Songtsen Gampo, we have been able to cultivate large areas and even grow rice.

It turned out that it was not possible. We could only grow highland barley. Then Songtsen Gampo married our people and brought many craftsmen and skills with him.

Now if we want to use military force to subdue them, it's impossible. It's a plateau climate there and there's a lack of oxygen, so we just can't breathe.

But if it were me, I could win people over by buying and selling. All battles are battles between the thoughts of the people at the top, which are called wills.

The three armies can seize the commander, but an ordinary man cannot seize the will. We don’t take away those things, we integrate them, and we integrate them with a good life.

The third brother and sister-in-law looked at my village. If Zhangjiacun is an enemy, I have strong crossbow veterans wearing armor and money, and then I can take care of the people of Zhangjiacun.

Even if Muramasa Zhang Xiao wanted to hit me, he couldn't. I want to destroy him easily. Under the shock of military strength, money is enough. "

Li Yi talked about geography, astronomy, politics, economics, human nature, and struggle. Just these words made it all clear.

"So, it's okay to use troops to defend without fighting?" Li Longji summed it up.

"Yes, as long as force is used at the border to prevent them from coming over, everything else will be easy to deal with. I can even destroy the soy sauce business for them. Third brother, this is called economic warfare."

Li Yi said confidently, because many huge empires in history were abolished in this way.
